Probably sound advice, but maybe some aren't quite that cautious. I run Lotus
Notes 5 under Wine (an April snapshot) and it works just about perfectly. My
current process has been running 6 days (which is an achievement for Notes
under Windows, let alone Wine!) and it's not so much as hiccupped.

I don't think Wine will ever be a serious contender for selling cross
platform software, but it is up to "getting real work done", at least in some
circumstances.
